His Royal Highness, Michael I, the Grand Duke of NordinselPrince of Scotia and Duke of Appinfeldt Count of Breisgau, Duke of SolisiaKnight of the Order of St. StephenKnight First Class of the Order of the LionField Marshal of the Karno-Ruthenian ArmyAide-de-Camp of His Imperial and Royal MajestyMinister of WarImperial Chancellor

My fellow delegates, today, we find ourselves in the I session of the House of Representatives, of the 20 of February of the Year of Our Lord, 2018.May I ask that if anyone who, perhaps, wishes to take the word, please do.

Apologies, my Fellow Delegates. Due to a technical issue on my part, I had failed to open the session properly, here.

As the first order of business, the Chair asks for nominations of the President of the House.

His Royal Highness, Michael I, the Grand Duke of NordinselPrince of Scotia and Duke of Appinfeldt Count of Breisgau, Duke of SolisiaKnight of the Order of St. StephenKnight First Class of the Order of the LionField Marshal of the Karno-Ruthenian ArmyAide-de-Camp of His Imperial and Royal MajestyMinister of WarImperial Chancellor

Being part of this Session, I hereby express my opinions on the matters in question.

a. About the election of the President of the House of Representatives:Can, His Excellency, the Imperial Chancellor of Karnia-Ruthenia be elected president of this House as well? If so, I would gladly vote in favor of Michael of Appinfeldt for the office. If not, HRM Christian von Letzembourg is most fit for the role.

b. About the internal regiment of the House of Representatives:- As for the voting system, I propose that, if a Session is called to action, it would have to be open for a minimum of one week, and extended if needed for another week at maximum.- If a member of the House of Representatives fails to vote on a proposed matter, his vote is counted as "null" and if a decision isn't met, another Session will have to be called.- If a member fails to vote 3 times in a row it is automatically suspended from this House, and is re-addition will have to be discussed between the other members.- After two years of being part of this House, each one of the constituent member states of the Empire will have to elect another representative to be part of this House.More ideas are welcome to complete this proposal.

c. About the proposal of Laws:- I believe that it would be important if a citizen of the empire, tries to, or is admitted into another Micronation as a citizen or a government official, automatically loses his right as a citizen of Karnia-Ruthenia. This is to preserve our cultural value to all individuals that makes part of our country.- All possession, consumption or any positive sensationalism of narcotics (excluding tobacco, alcohol or possibly (medical marijuana?)) should be punished by law.- Terrorism is obviously illegal, but we should have a decision to punish anyone who performs Psychological Terror (abuse, contempt or continuous mental abuse).- We should write a "BASIC LAW" (Based on the model: Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China) for the empire, accessible to anyone.- Direct Plagiarism or Piracy should be punished by law.

d. About the Governate of Hakodate:- After a year, the Governate of Hakodate should be elevated to the category of Duchy or State and the Governor-General admitted in the House of Representatives in the next 6 months.- If the Governor-General, fails to hold his office for the next 6 months, the Governate of Hakodate should be officially dissolved.- If AFTER 6 months, the Governor-General fails to hold his office, another Governate-General should be appointed by His Imperial and Royal Majesty.

I apologize in advance for any grammatical errors in this proposal letter.Signed: His Grace Dom Guilherme da Lomellina e Berenguer, Duke et Prinz of Lomellina and the Libertian Lands, Count of Berenguer and Lord of Moniz, Baron of Vieira and Count of Imvrassia.

The Chair would like to thank His Grace most sincerely for his kind nomination, and is open to a vote on proposals (a) & (b).

Regarding measure (c), Appinfeldt's only concern is the potential of a "slippery slope" regarding the definition of what non-prescribed drugs fall under the definition of "narcotics".

Additionally, regarding measure (d), Appinfeldt is opposed to dissolving the Hakodate Concession in the unfortunate event of a vacancy in the Governor-Generalship. Instead, Appinfeldt proposes that, in such event, the Hakodate Concession be remanded to the direct administration of His Imperial and Royal Majesty, on a temporary basis, until such time as a suitable candidate for the administration of the Concession be selected, regardless of the timeframe involved.

Appinfeldt now yields the floor.

- - - Your Grace, if I must say, such a law would undermine the life of citizens like me. I'm both a citizen of the Principality of Nossia and of the Empire. If said law would be enacted, I would have to abdicate my throne and renunciate my nossian citizenship, as to keep my imperial citizenship, or, renunciate my imperial citizenship and keep my throne. None of both situations appeases me or permits the continuation of my duties on both the empire and the principality.

The Chair thanks His Highness for His expression of concern on this aspect of point (c), and concurs. Speaking for myself personally, I too, hold foreign titles and offices, none of which are either hostile towards, nor run counter too, those concerning my duties towards Our Empire. While this point is, I feel, a wholly relevant one in regards to a macro-state, at the micronational level, I fear that making such an absolute statement such as this would undermine the Empires efforts as regards recruitment of Citizens, at least at the present level.
